Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday

so here are the last 3 days of Tech. wednesday class was pretty much the same as the previous days. cool thing was we had gotten a break and decided to go take a walk outside. one of the girls that i had been hanging out with saw some guy she knew (cause she lives in socorro) so we went to go talk to him. we noticed when we got there that some people had cameras on the guy. then this random person came and told us we had to move to the sidewalk. not sure what the heck was going on, we asked around. then we found out that they were filming a tv show called Man vs. Cartoon. i guess they try to get the inventions that Coyote uses to get Roadrunner (the cartoon) to work in real life. it was pretty cool. then we went back to class. so that night we played capture the flag again. have to say it was pretty boring because there was like 10 people on each team. so yea... boring!!!!!

thursday was pretty exciting. we took a field trip up to Langmuir Observatory (its this like telescope i think used for atmpsheric and astrologic research). it was awesome because one, the road up there was all curvy and cool, two it was sooo cool up there (not hot like it was in the town), and the views up there were incredible!!! so we got to the top, took pictures, talked a little bit, then headed back down the mountain. it was cool. that night was the pool party. it prolly would have been a lot funner of it wasn't so windy or cold. i spent about 10 minutes in there then got out to go shower. then about an hour later some people started watching Shawn of the Dead (spoof off of Dawn of the Dead). it was interesting. we didn't want to watch it so we went swing dancing instead. or tried to anyways. no one would ask my friend and i to dance so we left. i went back to my dorm and started packing. then after everyone had to be back in their doorms for curfew, my roommate informed me that she and some friends were going to sneak out. why she told me this i have no idea. she said she didn't want me to get in trouble, which was why she told me, but what happened if someone asked me??? so i sat there thinking about whether i should tell my RA (room administrator or w/e) because it was against the rules. i wasn't going to say anything until i started thinking that if something happened to the girls, it would be pratially my fault because i knew something and didn't tell someone. so the tattle tale that i am, i txted the RA. i stayed up till about 1 listening to my roommate talk on the phone and waiting for my RA to tell me i could go to sleep. awful night.

friday was boring. at class, instead of a final, we watched an Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore. other than the fact that he just HAD to mention that he didn't win the presidental election, it was an interesting movie. so then class got out and we started walking back to our doorms to check out. i found my mommy and bro waiting on the 2 story. so we finished cleaning my room, said bye to everyone, and we left.

so overall i had a pretty good week. i realized too that there is a very slight chance that i will study Atmospheric Physics or go to Tech. so yea!!! wow that was a lot of typing. im tired..... i think im going to crash. NIGHT!

random

so tonight i went to go see Wall-E with Robert and su madre. it was an interesting movie. kinda cute/corny. that wasn't the best part of the night though. see we were in the taurus. apparently the driver's side door is werid. so robert kept trying to unlock the door after we were done eating and after the movie. lol poor kid sat there trying to open the door and shaking it and everything. it was hilarious. then his mom went and tried to help and still didn't work! so she came and unlocked my side and i had to unlock both the drivers and back seat doors. then for the movie i got my door open and the back seat then Robert FINALLY opens the drivers side. man it was awesome. lol ok bye

Day 2 and 3 of NMT

so since i didn't write anything yesterday im going to group monday and tuesday into one post. monday will be first. so yea monday morning was my first day of Atmospheric Physics. i have to say i was kinda worried because i didn't know if it would be hard or not and whether i needed to know physics or not. turns out it was pretty fun and i didn't need physics at all. we started making a sun photometer (measures airisoles in the atmosphere). so yea it took us about 3 days to finsh making that. it was fun though. then that night some people went to play paintball while the rest of us went and played capture the flag (i think). my team won!!!! then we went to bed and slept like babies.

so then tuesday morning was pretty much the same cept we also launched a weather balloon to measure the atmospheric preasure, dry temp, and wet temp. that was kinda cool to do. then that night was a dance. this was the first time i had ever been to a dance where there was no christian music and people were allowed to dance THISCLOSE!! it was funny watching lines of people grinding. talk about awkard. then the dj would play country music and 3 guys asked me to dance, one asking more than once. i told him no the second time. then after this one guy and i finished dancing we started dancing to rap in a circle and he started dancing gross and coming close to me. so since i saw people dancing like that (dirty dancing or w/e) i was scared and didn't want to cause thats not how i am. so i started telling him no and he kept telling me to. i was like NO! then he stopped. so other than that the night was fun. then we went back to our dorms and slept like babies... again!

so there are you have it!

NMT

so this week was my chance to take a peek into the college life. i went down to New Mexico Tech in socorro for a minicourse program. so we got there around 3 on sunday afternoon, unpacked my stuff in my dorm, met my roommate, and walked around campus. so the family left round 4:30 and i pretty muich hung out in my room with my roommate, Camille, and our suitemate, Margaret. so then we went to dinner and just hung out, ate food, and tried to get to know one another. so then after dinner a group of people went and played capture the flag but Margaret, 2 other girls, and i went and played egyptian rat-screw. it was awesome. so im going to keep the suspense and write about every day there... well every day. so here is day 1! stay tuned for day 2 tomorrow

blonde moment!!!

so tonight was Mariah's goodbye/birthday/surprise party. it was pretty fun. we ate and played skipbo. but here is the best part of the night.

PARENTAL ADVISORY: THESE NEXT STATEMENTS ARE NOT FOR CHILDREN!

ok then. so matt and jordan had been joking around all night about tampos stopping nosebleeds. if you don't know what in the world that means, go watch She's The Man. so a while later we were just hanging out and i heard nosebleeds. so i was like "yea you use condoms to stop them". yea it was horrible because i totally meant to say tampons!! then jordan and i died laughing at my stupidity and i prayed my little heart out that very few people heard me say that. it was bad yet hilarious at the same time. ok there you go

Oh my gosh!!!!!!! this has pretty much been the coolest 3 weeks of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so about 3 weeks ago my mom took me to the library. i found 4 ted dekker books and started reading them because i absolutely LOVE ted dekker. so the first book i read was obsessed. nothing quite exciting about that if i remember correctly. then i started on saint and i realized, this mentions a lot of stuff that is found in showdown and might have something to do with red, black and white! so then i read blink and again, nothing quite interesting in there. finally i read skin. that pretty much brought everything into perspective. see there is a killer in there that goes by red. in house there is a killer that goes by white and in showdown, there is a kiler that goes by black. then i started thinking about the books in this series called red, black, and white!!! man i was so excited! so i googled everything to make sure i wasn't crazy and i wasnt!! red, black, white, showdown, saint, sinner, house, skin, and some other books are all tied together!!! man i love ted dekker. ok my rambling is done and i think i may have repeated myself a few times. sorry about that.

finally!!!!

after 4 years and 15 days of torture, my braces will finally be coming off in a month and a half!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cannot begin to explain how happy this makes me!!!!!!!!! see because i was only supposed to have them one for about a year or year and a half but since my teeth wouldn't fall out then would take forever to grow in, one year turned into 4! so now im happy. now ill have pretty straight teeth without metal in time for school!!!!

Camp

LONE TREE WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a thing called love

so tonight my mom and i watched 27 dresses. normally i will try to avoid watching chic flicks but there was nothing else to do so i caved. it was an interesting movie. everyone prolly knows what its about so im not going to bother talking about the plot. one thing i will mention is the fact that even though she hadn't found the right guy, never had anything go her way, and had to put up with being the bridesmaid in 27 weddings, the lead character never lost hope in finding her one true love and having the wedding of her dreams. after watching it i started thinking. even though we feel like we will never find the right person, feel sometimes like we are alone, and feel like the world is against us, God has something else completely in store for us. He has someone uniquely special for each one of us. Even though we may feel alone and like everyone is against us, God will never leave us nor forsake us. He will always love us, care for us, and he always has out best intentions in mind. We may not think so at the time but everything that happens to us is for a reason. We may not have the love of people here on earth but we will always have the love of our Savior. Those thoughts, even though life is heck right now, are what keep me going. i hope this maybe has helped someone and if not, well its a venting session. hope someone got a kick out of it.

i swear im going to punch something/someone

Crazy Hispanic people

graduation parties galore!!!!!!! thats all that happens around here now. so this weekend my family and i drove up to Canyon City, Colorado for my second cousin's graduation party. we left around 8 on friday morning and caravanned (ignore the spelling) with my family up there. we stopped in Las Vegas, had a huge breakfast, bought cheesecake, then continued on up to CO. so we got to our hotel around 3, hung out for about an hour, then went to my uncle's house for a BBQ. such yummy food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then we went swimming. it was boring. our night though turned out to be more exciting then the entire day. normally my brother and my dad sleep together in a bed with my mom and i in another. well my brother and dad kinda didn't fit so my brother slept with me. (don't freak he was on covers i was underneath) kid couldn't sleep though because "the bed is too hard!!!" so he moved back with my dad cause that bed was softer and my mom moved back with me. then we fell asleep. next morning i find out that my brother woke up screaming for no reason. horrible night. we all got prolly at most 7 hours and at least 2. it was bad. we moved to a different hotel for the next night though and got 2 adjoining rooms. the graduation party was fun though. mostly because all my aunts and uncles drink. those guys are so werid! thank goodness none got drunk. i was surprised. so the party went till like 8 and we went back to the hotel to crash. it was sooooooooooooooooooooo nice! it was brand new (had opened on friday) so everything was clean and soft and awesome!!!!! then we drove home today. it was boring. now im tired. oh so tired. excited though because LONE TREE IS IN A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe
